HOT HOT HOT!!!

Hello from the SUNNY and HOT northwest!!! Today was an absolutely gorgeous day!! I am so excited for more days like this. Although I did sleep through about 3 hours of prime weather it was so worth it. I had to work at 6am this morning so I was up and at 'em early. Then after we came home and John made us breakfast. We had very yummy pancakes...I had been craving pancakes since last night so it was nice to satisfy that craving. More on the pregnancy and cravings in a bit. After we ate, I was exhausted and laid down. Next thing I know I am waking myself in a coughing fit. Still getting over this silly cold.

I woke up around 1pm and was surprise surprise, starving....again. I couldn't find ANY food. Our shelves were literally bare in our refrigerator. I have been putting off grocery shopping. So I ended up at Taco del Mar. Second day in a row. I was so full after that. I had to pick up Emily (the girl I nanny for) from school at 2pm so I swung by after doing that. YUMMY!!! I came home and Aidan woke up about the time I got home and I convinced him that he wanted to get up even if he was fussy. We all went to Redmond Town Center to play in the fountain. We were only there for about an hour but I have some tan lines already!! It was so nice to be out in the sun and Aidan had a blast. We got a bunch of pictures that I will upload tomorrow after tomorrow. We ended our night by going to Costco with Monica and getting groceries that were much needed!! We have food now!!! Hooray!! Monica came over to watch Mad Money with me. It wasn't that bad. Kinda cute. Made me almost wish that it could actually be reality...almost.

Ok, onto my pregnancy. Still feeling really good. I have even let myself feel really hungry a few times which wasn't bad like it was with Aidan. Had I done that with Aidan I would have been dry heaving. No fun. I am knocking on wood that the rest of my first trimester stays as comfortable as this one has. I told John tonight that it was like I almost didn't believe that I was pregnant still because I feel drastically different than I did with Aidan and am not as tired as I was with him. I can take a 2-3 hour nap in the middle of the day and wake up refreshed and then be up until my normal time. Although this is around the time that I found out with Aidan that I was prego so I am wondering if the morning sickness and exhaustion will kick in more this next week. Hmmm. Oh well. I will take this while I can.

As for food cravings, it has been salty foods and Mexican. My tummy is growling as I type and its 11:30pm!!! I can eat one minute adn literally a half hour later be STARVING as if I never ate!! It's crazy!! Things such as soda, candy, chocolate I am not preferring. I haven't cared for the taste of the chocolate and the toher sweets are just that to sweet. I have also wanted a ton of fruit. Just things that are refreshing and tasty. It changes from day to day sometime. Although today in the sunshine I felt lightheaded and needed to sit down and get cool. I never experienced that with Aidan so I will have to be aware of how warm I am getting through this summer!! I'll keep you updated on future pregnancy related stuff. Sorry this post was so long. It was a busy week/day.
